Wall and Ceiling Mounted Speaker Installation

Instructions

Prior to Installation

Each speaker requires one speaker wire set consisting of a positive

and negative wire. Eaton recommends using an 18 gauge wire or

larger for the best quality sound.

Speaker cable should be run to each speaker location prior to speaker

installation. In new construction applications, run the speaker wire to

the speaker locations prior to drywalling.

Choosing the Speaker Location

Before you install your speakers you should carefully consider their

location to ensure the best quality sound. Make sure to note the loca-

tion of lighting ﬁxtures, electrical wiring, plumbing, HVAC ducting, or

any other possible obstructions.

Once you have selected the area for installation, locate the studs or

joists nearest to the desired location. By marking the location of the

stud or joist ﬁrst, you can avoid cutting into it as you cut the speaker

hole. A speaker cutout template is included to help you measure cut-

out dimensions.

Position the template into the desired location and outline the

speaker opening. If you are still not sure of possible obstructions, cut

a small hole in the center of your mounting location. This small hole

will allow you to check for obstructions behind the surface prior to

cutting out the entire speaker hole.

If there are no problems with your mounting location, proceed to cut

out the outlined hole. If the area where the speaker will be placed is

not already insulated, Eaton suggests adding insulation, Dacron, or

some other sound dampening material. If you add insulation with a

foil layer, make sure to mount the foil side away from the speaker

magnet.

Ceiling Placement

Speakers placed into the ceiling should be mounted above or as close

to the listening area as possible. Take furniture arrangements into

consideration when ﬁnalizing your speaker locations. The tweeters

located in the speakers can be adjusted to point towards the listening

area of the room.

Speaker Installation

Note:

Speaker cable should be run to each speaker location prior to

speaker installation. In new construction applications, run the speaker

wire to the speaker locations prior to drywalling.

To Install

Remove speaker grill ﬁrst. Locate the mounting brackets on the rear

of the speaker.

Mounting Brackets on Rear of Speaker (Locked In)

Twist the mounting brackets out of their locked position so they can

slide down the open channel.

Mounting Brackets on Rear of Speaker (Unlocked Out)

Push the brackets down the slide channel towards the front of the

speaker, holding onto the speaker frame for support.

Push Down on the Mounting Brackets to Pop-Off the Speaker Grill

Once the mounting brackets are pushed down, the grill will release

from the frame.

Pushing Down on the Legs of the Mounting Bracket Releases

the Speaker Grill From the Frame

Speaker Rear View Consisting of a Positive and Negative Wire Set

Next, attach the speaker wire from mounting location to the back of

the speaker.

Caution

: Make sure to observe polarity (positive + to positive + and

negative – to negative -).

Finally, to mount the speaker, turn all the mounting brackets in toward

the speaker. This will allow the speaker to easily ﬁt into the hole you

have just cut. Insert the speaker into the hole.

Speaker Installation (continued)

Make sure that the speaker is level and carefully tighten the mount-

ing screws to secure the speaker. As you tighten the screws, the

mounting bracket feet will ﬂip into position to grip into the drywall. Do

not over tighten the mounting screws.

Mounting Brackets Opened to Grip Into Drywall

Adjusting Swivel Tweeters

The adjustable, swivel tweeter allows you to direct mid-range and

high-range frequencies towards or away from the listening area.

Speaker With Adjustable Swivel Tweeters

To adjust the position of the tweeter, gently apply pressure on the

edge of the tweeter housing toward the desired area.

Caution

: Too much pressure during this procedure can cause

damage to the tweeter.

Adjusting the Tweeter

Reapplying the Speaker Grill

Once the tweeters are adjusted, the grill can be replaced. Recheck

that the speaker is level. Gently press the speaker grill into the

grooves on the speaker frame. Be sure to apply pressure evenly as

you press the grill into place. Uneven pressure can cause damage to

the grill.

Push Evenly the Grill Back Onto the Speaker Frame

Setting Level Controls

To achieve desired sound, set tweeter levels ﬁrst, then match bass

output.

If only two channels (R & L) of your ampliﬁer are driving more than

one pair of speakers, Eaton suggests using the lowest output posi-

tion for the woofer until you can make sure the ampliﬁer can handle

the additional woofer settings.

Painting the Speaker

Speaker Grill:

Remove the speaker grill from the speaker frame.

Paint the grill lightly, being careful not to clog the holes. Do not paint

the grill while it is still on the speaker.

Speaker Frame:

Eaton suggests painting all parts of the speaker

prior to the installation. If you must paint after installation, place the

provided paint guards around the grill area. After the paint guards are

in place, paint the frame of the speakers.
